Interesting how they haven't shown Syler's face yet ... teh missus and I decided that it's 'cos in a future episode, we'll find out that Syler is the blonde cheerleader's dad.

Well, I did think that but have since decided it's prolly too obvious and it's what the scriptwriters want us to think.

With Peter able to absorb the heroes' powers, and time travelling in the last episode, Syler might be a future version of him - a mad with power, evil version.

Me thinks similar to manker,hadn't thought about Peter being a future version as Sylar,interesting.
Don't think the cheerleaders dad is Sylar,thinking he is a government type,like the baddy in Mutant x.

If any of you have read Rising Stars then you'd see this is another rip-off (like the 4400).

In Rising Stars, there was someone knocking off all the Specials. It turned out to be someone no one expected and they knew how to get to each one of them. (there was a so-called invincible man that could get shocked by electricity, even did commercials doing it.....however, he still needed oxygen. He was found dead sitting in his armchair with a simple plastic bag on over his head)

If you thought The Watchmen was a good read, check out Rising Stars.

There are very few completely original ideas in any form of media these days, the exposure levels are such, nowadays, that you can pick a hole in any 'new' series/film/song/book and say that some part of it derives from someone else's creativity.

Whether this show has a similar premis to X-men, or anything else, isn't much of an issue.

Whether it's good entertainment is the only thing that concerns me - and Heroes rocks.

I haven't been reading it (or if it's still around) recently. It's by the guy who Babylon 5. (reminds self to get trade paperbacks, wifey will kill me)

In one instance when the Specials were children, they were in some sort of camp. They had something like counselors and whatnot. Well when it was bedtime there was one boy that was always roused from his sleep in the middle of the night by a particular counselor and taken somewhere. This happened over and over...until one day the boy looked at the counselor and said, "BuuUuRRrN!!"

Needless to say that counselor stopped abusing the boy (and stopped living) cos he was burnt to a char.

Btw, the last Heroes was great. I knew I was right about the younger Petrelli.

Gotta love the BOOM of the elder Pretrelli too.
